 ST. LOUIS (AP) - Pierre-Marc Bouchard's second goal snapped a third-period tie, helping the Minnesota Wild beat the St. Louis Blues 5-2 on Tuesday night.
Pavol Demitra scored twice, including an empty-netter, to help the Wild win for the fifth time in six road games. Brian Rolston and Petteri Nummelin each had two assists for Minnesota, which before the current road success had a franchise-record 11-game winless slump.
Eric Brewer and Jay McClement scored for the Blues, who had been 7-1-1 in their previous nine and entered the game eight points behind Minnesota for the final Western Conference playoff spot. St. Louis has lost its last two at home and is 10-13-1 at the Scottrade Center, next-to-worst in the NHL.
